I am trying to implement the new out parameters in functions and stumbled upon a problem.
There is an internal requirement for our databases that every function call always returns 2 params status & status_text.
The problem now is that plpgsql selects the out params themselves into out params instead of function call results that i need there.
If this is the expected behavior of out params it makes using out params a bit complicated if some table attributes
happen to have the same name as out params. How can i overcome this situation? I can understand function variables having precedence
over column names as you can freely rename them but out params is a different situation.
snippet from code
-[cut]--
out status int, -- 200
out status_text text -- OK
) AS $$
BEGIN
-[cut]--
SELECT status, status_text
FROM service._simple_add(
i_key_user
,i_key_service
,i_action
,i_subscr_len)
INTO status, status_text;
-[cut]-
